Hell/HD

"The underworld. Sheol. Hades. One thing's for certain: it's HOT down here!"

Accessible:

Levels 5-1 to 5-4.

Main Dangers:

Hell is the optional fifth area of the caves, comprising levels 5-1 to 5-4. Upon reaching 5-4, you must defeat King Yama, the ruler of the underworld, to complete the game and unlock Yang as a Spelunker. The ending will be changed to accommodate for your great success. You will also be awarded the "To Hell and Back" achievement.

Contents

Hell is a very claustrophobic area of the game, consisting of very narrow passageways, filled with Tiki Traps and Spike Balls. The exit is usually surrounded by Tiki Traps, often nullifying the threat of hostile Shopkeepers. Chains that the Spelunker can climb can be found over Spikes and pools of Lava. Due to the large amount of hazards, a Cape, a Jetpack, and/or a good supply of Bombs are recommended.
